About this book

Abruzzo is one of the wildest and least populated regions of Italy, with 26 peaks over 2000 m, and home to three national parks. There are fine routes throughout this largely protected area, between charming hilltop villages through forests and gorges and along high mountain ridges.

These little-known walks are described here for the first time in English, with day and half-day routes all graded from easy wanders to challenging mountain adventures. Thirty walks are described in four areas across the region, illustrated with clear colour sketch maps. This includes detailed information on how to reach the more remote start points.
